Cincinnati 2014: Western and Southern open

[Moose]

Lucie had 11 more winners than Venus? She must have been playing some excellent tennis.

 

[kskate2]

Loads of errors off Maria's racquet finds her in danger of dropping the 2nd set to Keys. 5-2 now

what is new?

 

[kskate2]

Maria taking about 12 min between sets.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Not the worst thing for Venus' US Open prospects to lose early here and have a bit of a break before New York.

P3tra going for a bathroom break (brain transplant) between sets. Will it help after that 6-2 humiliation? Always liked Svitolina and predicted she will be good.

The tour is in a mess at present. All the good players are in bad form or injured except Aga which is still hard to tell, and YOU KNOW WHO!
I hope that "you know who" wont catch this bad form virus from the others
Opss... I forgot about Caro. She can take advantage and get into top 10 or more.

 

[kskate2]

Petra falls in the first round again. This time to Svitolina in straights.

Serena & Sam are underway. On serve in the opener 3-3

Sabine & Sara are having a break-fest. On serve 5-4

CSN takes the opener over Pauline 6-3

 

[kskate2]

Serena goes passive and barely squeaks out the opening breaker over Sam 9-7

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I wish Serena would stop it already. I mean seriously if you are going to lose or barely win at least go all out and make players realize oh crap just think had she been able to get those nasty aggressive shots in I would have been doomed.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

But having said that, I knew Sam was going to try to have a better showing given the throttling Serena gave her in Montreal.

Also, I see Kvitova has gone back to being a loser, and she can't seem to build on any big win.

 

[kskate2]

Sabine/Sara split sets. On serve in the decider 2-2

Sloane takes the opener over BZS 7-5. Up a break in the 2nd 4-1

 

[kskate2]

Serena/Sam enter another TB

 

[kskate2]

Sam w/ 2 SP's

 

[kskate2]

Stosur dumps one into the net and goes long on the other one. 6-6
